Our govt, over time, has become so corrupt, so easily bought, and our politicians garner such wealth and riches…

All because they have their own rule book, they don’t follow the one the rest of us are obliged to follow.

It’s time for that to stop…

The ‘sickness’ in DC and with pols is their greed…

ROTFLMAO…Indeed, which is why many of us out here in the real world have taken to calling Washington DC… Mordor on the Potomac… We have indeed fallen sway to Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor…

You are concise and precise with what you have to say, and I like that!

I would never have known about rare earth metals, until you mentioned it!

You are a mine of information! You dig through and find the most interesting and pertinant info that abounds!!

I do believe you should be added to at least the Green Room!

Your commentary is always soooo informative, and I have learned much from your postings!

Many Thanks SW!!

Why thank you Scrumpy, but I doubt that the staff here needs or wants the competition, besides, I don’t know that I have the self discipline that Ed and his crew have clearly displayed in being able to crank out article after article everyday.

“Ttttttttttttto the hiiiiiiiiiighest bidder. Look at this rrrrrrred Shiite and baaaaluuuuue pie box here. Folks this pie, I just looked in the box is miiiiighty fine. It’s got your natural resources, yer Oceans white and foam and yer purple mountains. With a hayyynkerin of Teaters throughout. Got a lotta potential. Who bids first?………right over there in the Far East corner……Chhhhiiiiiiiiiina. Who’s next?”

THAT is where we are at folks. We’re being sold like a fancy boxed pie at a school pie supper.
